Introduction

Thank you for purchasing one of the smallest and most feature-rich KVM switches on the market. IOGEAR’s KVM switches are first-rate connectivity accessories designed to help reduce the frustration of managing multiple computer systems. With the MiniViewTM series by IOGEAR, you can access multiple computers from a single console (keyboard, mouse and monitor). The MiniViewTM provides two convenient methods to access connected computers. Change ports easily via the push button selection switch located on the unit’s side panel, or by entering Hot Key combinations from the keyboard. Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. There is no software to configure, no installation routines and no incompatibility problems. Since the MiniViewTM intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on any PS/2 compatible hardware platform and with all operating systems. There is no better way to save time and money than with a MiniViewTM. By allowing a single console to manage the attached computers, the MiniViewTM eliminates the expense of purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor and mouse for each PC. Additionally, these switches save all the extra space multiple consoles would take up, and eliminate the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly having to move from one PC to the other.

We hope you enjoy using your MiniViewTM KVM switch, yet another first-rate connectivity solution from IOGEAR.
